It was on this day in history that Crack Jack inserted a prize into their box for the first time in 1913. It was probably a plastic bookmark that no one liked but oh, well. Well, we're going to try something similar this weekend.

Here's the deal. If you spend $400 on Miller Fall Protection products. We'll send you a $50 harness for free. Yep for free.

A couple weeks ago I shared with you a story about outfitting the hosts of Mythbusters with fall protection equipment. Did you know that we've worked with big and small companies across the country? And yes, even in Canada.

We've had the pleasure to do business with General Mills, Sara Lee Foods, and Morton Salt. This could be because I love food. Who knows? Heck, we've even worked with Shell Oil and Conoco Phillips. I wouldn't eat their product though.

One of the things I don't really cover on this blog is the day to day distribution of OSHA fines. It feels too much like the paparazzi for me, but I still think we can learn a few things from them.  The fines, not the paparazzi.
